Drama

At St Edmund’s, Drama is child-centred and draws upon each child’s interests, experience and cultural background. We celebrate the dramatic process, performance and good experiences of ‘theatre’.

Our main aims are:

To give all children the opportunity to develop their personality and their powers of imagination and communication.

To foster confidence, social awareness and the creative potential present in all children.

To enable children to develop a sense of audience.

Through Drama, children may explore all areas of the curriculum – historical topics, social issues, biographical accounts etc. We value the dramatic process as a resource to be used whenever the opportunity arises.
